Handicap Regattas

The class plans to target a few major handicap events in between our own events, with a view to getting enough Europes out to give us our own start :-)

Chichester Harbour Week (often still called Fed week) - 14th - 18th August - 1 race per day

Chichester Harbour Race Week

Monday 14th - Friday 18th August

Organised by: Chichester Harbour Federation

Venue: Hayling Island Sailing Club

One of the biggest and best dinghy regattas on the UK’s South Coast, Race Week has something for everyone from weekend sailors to Olympic medallists.

It’s not a championship, it’s a regatta and that means first class racing in a relaxed atmosphere. With class starts and handicap fleets, the tidal yet sheltered waters of Chichester Harbour see locals chasing places and visitors finding new challenges.

Come and enjoy quality race management, bands, parties, sandy beaches, or just sit back and take in the scene from Hayling Island Sailing Club’s famous balcony.

The event website - ChichesterHarbourRaceweek.sailevent.net - is the Official Notice Board. Online entries open there on 1 May.

Last year 7 Europes competed in Race Week. This year we look forward to welcoming even more!

POSH - Paignton Saling Club - 20th & 21st May

Bass Week - 5th - 13th August

North West Norfolk Week - 29th July - 5th August - sailing at various, mostly coastal, clubs around North West Norfolk (including several clubs with Europe fleets).
